Therefore, as has happened for the last 235 years the military will never advocate for pulling out of a conflict regardless of how stupid, regardless of how deadly it may be. Those who yell the loudest about supporting the troops usually mean keep the money spigot open supporting their buddies in the defense industry. Peace mongers care more for the troops safety far more than the war mongers--never lose sight of that! Stop the money flow and our sons, daughters and friends will only spill their precious blood defending the country from real dangers. Mr. Hogans line "what worked in Iraq won't work inAfghanistan"---wha????? LOL! 10 years, 0ver 4,000 dead young Americans, 100,000 disabled American troops, and $1 trillion spent? "What worked"?? Puhleese, get the troops home and let's begin a strategy for rebuilding our country, and facing the challenges presented by the biggest thorn in our country's side--Mexico. Millions of people right across the border need our nation building much more than Pakistan. Why pay trillions for our troops to build schools and clinics in a place Americans/Christians are abhorred when they could be doing the same right here? The militarys job is to spend money–as much money as possible because that means next year THEY CAN GET MORE MONEY!
